Okay, we aren't explaining something right.
You made it to the 3 options and you left clicked the "image" option (its the middle choice). That should highlight the selection.
Then, just right click on it and select "copy".
Don't bother with anything else at this point, just place your curser inside the text window of you message and right click to paste it.
I think you are trying to use the "upload" button which just sends you back to select another photo....that drove me nuts for awhile until I just pasted the image into the window instead.

RR, if it still doesn't work, please call me later today ( after 6 pm pacific time ), I'll send you my cell number through PM, I'll try to guide you over the phone, I think it's easier.

I followed the directions from Milspec and the above is what was pasted. Hopefully it comes out as a picture.

Finally! This is a picture of one of my bikes. It's a Lightning F-90. In addition to the way it's set up here, it also has a full body sock that connects to the velcro along the back of the nose cone. This turns it into a full stream liner. Only my head sticks out the top. I call it the Minion. I photo shopped a big eyeball and put it on the front of the nosecone where the headlight hole is located. Using some thin pin striping I added a smile. From the front it looks just like one of the one eyed minions coming at you.

Now what? It posted the same picture three times even though I chose another one. I'll try something else.

Sweet looking bike. It looks more comfortable to ride than a standard bike.
I think you need a new clicker the same link is stuck on your clip board

That was a really cool looking ride, it wasn't at all what I expected.
It amazes me how diverse the recumbents are right now, there is no set pattern as each builder is still experimenting.
The only thing I would try are fat tires like the ones Surly is using in their bikes now. With the speeds you ride downhill, I would want more tire between me and the pavement.
Surly is a cool company....just saw this new design. Sure would be cool in the snow.

I have the skinny tires for speed. Really high pressure. Another bike I ride is a long wheel base recumbent. Carbon Fiber fairing on the front and several different body socks that enclose the rider. It screams down the mountain at sixty. Huge fun!

RR, clearing the forum cookies also helps, click "home" and scroll to the bottom, you'll see a clicker to clear the cookies there, or you can clear it from your internet options as well.

dp1,
I clicked on "Home" and scrolled to the bottom. I didn't see a clicker to clear the cookies. What does it look like? I may well have tried so many times to host the same picture that there may be a big backlog of the same one.

This is another one of my "bents". I took this picture at the tunnel entrance on the Likelike Hwy. Screaming down the mountain is a blast. I go as fast or faster than cars. You should see their faces when I pass them on the left.
Not bad for a grandpa. I'll be sixty-five a week from Saturday.

Good question. When I come out the tunnel entrance they sometimes give me a little jolt. It's just like on a motorcycle. The bike leans over just a bit but keeps on going. Depends on the situation and the bike. The Lightning is effected a lot more. That's why I made it into a convertible. LOL It's much cooler inside the sock also. I'm always in the shade and enough air moves through to keep me comfortable.
I call this one "The Time Machine"

That really looks like fun!!
Around here, I would either be run over by a farmer's combine or get swallowed up by our giant potholes.

The problem with most mid-western states is they are so flat. No hills to climb but no fast down hills either.

That's what semi-drafting is for.
